Tuesday type?

Not very nice the "friend" who took the nude pic of Prince Harry!
This "family portrait" however is hilarious?!?

Our Para-Olympians making us proud "Well done!"

This ship went aground in Blouberg in 2008/2009? but is still a problem as it is now leaking oil.
It's Turkish Owners abandoned the ship and gave up on it years ago, but now it's an environmental disaster.

More about the abandoned Seli1, claims that environmentalists predicted an oil spill years ago

Gillan Gork, the mentalist, was on Carte Blanche on Sunday! He drove a car blind fold in this recorded item. Amazing the things the mind can do! My Neuro Surgeon wrote a book on this subject related to healing. The more positive you are the greater your outcome?

Bruges a Belgian town (at least that's the map I tried to put on today's blog post). My mom is going there with my sisters for a weekend while I am in England. We watched a program on it on the travel channel and had to buy some Belgian Pralines from Woolies the next day!

Hi all! How is your Tuesday?

It is a super sunny day here in Bloubergstrand Today.

I typed a blog post yesterday, saved it and when I went to "publish" it went somewhere but it was not published? Gremlins? I hate it when that happens, it takes about an hour for me to create my blog post for a day! I know I am a bit slow but hey what the! Then I just give it all up regarding blog posting for that day, appologies!

Anyway you get double the value, as some of yesterday's blog content is on today's blog post!

There was a very brave man on Carte Blanche on Sunday Night, he claims the miners at Marikana were shot by the police in a pre-meditated execution massacre. There is apparently evidence that backs up his claim (markings made on rocks by the police prior to their shooting of the miners).

I checked my blog's email yesterday, and only 1 interesting comment from somebody who really love's my blogs and especially my mention of some airline from Europe. They had a very bad incident where they cancelled her Business Class ticket and offered no monetary refund. Me oh my? All airlines overbook their flights but cancelling a ticket and not refunding the passenger? Well moving on...

Tomorrow is my penultimate 248 Blouberg Road (St. Luke's Hospice Shop) 3 hour volunteer job until 19 August. Must arrange a lunch for next week?

Anyway I do apologise folks but that is all from me for today regarding blogging. Visit one of my other blogs to see the interesting adverts I found on the web Millionaire? or not your choice!

Signing off

Ciao

About me!

My Afrikaans teacher, who was Miss Liebenberg when I was at St. John's College, in the late 90's (1994-end of 1996) and other people I know, have in the past, asked me why I don't have my full story on my blog, as my story is one that would help inspire others facing a similar situation.

So here we go folks- In December 1996 I started getting blinding headaches and became very photo phobic, my pupils were hugely dilated. I never really got headaches before then. We were on holiday at the Sugar Beach Hotel, in Mauritius, when my life changed forever. On our return my situation just kept getting worse and I went temporarily blind from the pressure behind my eyes my tumour caused. Christmas 1996 was absolutely nightmarish for me. I did not know what was going on with my body - I thought I was facing my last days here on earth.

On 15 January 1997 (I can never forget this date), the day school started for that year, I was in Hospital having Brain Surgery to try and remove my tumour. Thank God it was too firmly routed to my brain stem for this to be done. According to my Neuro Surgeon (who will remain Anon.) he tried everything to remove it but it was not possible - I haemoraged and he panicked. Had they been able to get it out my left side would have become my right side in my minds thinking. I distinctively remember waking up from surgery in the operating theatre and puking into my oxygen mask. I lost my speech for several months, my ability to walk (to this day I limp as my left leg is not in sync with the right side of my body), I could not use the toilet for months and was in agony as neither end (a bit graphic) but what the worked as my brain was not correctly sending the signal to my netherlands- so I could not get rid of my body's waste. It was a long and crap year 1997 and trying to survive. I was on a tv programme on SABC1 (I believe, you believe?) in June 1997 and a month later, my mom, dad and me went to Australia. OZ (We flew to Perth on SAA) is a nine hour flight from Johannesburg and a twelve (12) hour flight back to Johannesburg? Strong head winds on the return flight. (one of life's odd stats.?) On our return I started getting rapidly worse again. The Oncology doctor gave me a diagnosis of three weeks to live in December 1997 as there was nothing more he could do for me. - I gave my oncology Doctor Martin Chassen a hug - he started crying. Well I guess only God knows how long you will be around?

I turn 38 on 21 November of this year (2018), I have not seen a doctor for years, I do not take any medication, but only vitamins and I am still here! I have tremendous faith in God. I believe all religions are equal, in the way that the basis of all religions is of a higher power, a god, the way you choose to practice your faith is up to you. I am a Catholic Christian and know 100% that I would not have survived what I did without God, Strangers awesome healing prayers (they prayed for me in churches, mosques and Synagogues my family's parish Priest Father Leithem sent a petition to our Lady of Medjugorje in Croatia and used to bring me aloe vera mixed with Grapa that a parishoner used to make for me. A boy (he's 39 now) from St. John's College, Anthony Spanjaard, told me about these vitamins his mom sold. I took them in a large dosage (16) a day at first to boost my immune system. I prayed like mad and voila.

This I have no answer for and for many years I felt guilty - why did I survive my cancer and many other people do not. Go figure?
